Series Thread: Golden State Warriors vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Finals Thread

[Montalban]

I only say that bc Cleveland is wearing down bc of the lack of depth and high minutes. The longer this series goes, advantage GS. So I really do believe it is a must-win.

That is one of my hopes; its a faint one, but at this point I'm grasping at any source of light I can find.

You CHOSE to comment on the video stating that what she did made her trash.

I chose to tell you that the VAST MAJORITY of your fan base did the exact same thing.

Nobody said that YOU did anything.

But, bottom line is that if you think she's trash then you cannot debate that the majority of you're fan base is/acted just as trashy.

I don't recall trying to argue that some Cavs fans did that. Where did I say that?

 

[trojanfan12]

We get it Trojan, you love Cavs fans

Y'all are very entertaining. No denying that.

U have miller, Jones, marion and LBJ who have won a couple championships. GS has 0 players that been to finals(I think).

That and whenever you are playing 5 on 5 and have the best player on the planet, you usually tend to feel a little more comfortable in your skin while on the floor.

Kerr has experience, but that's it. All those jumpshots (like I've said 7 times) get a little tougher each game when you reach the Finals.

When you live in a place like Cleveland that is so economically depressed and life pretty much sucks, things like sports get way too much emphasis. We saw it with the Browns when they left, with James when he left with the constant whining about the Indians etc, but it is understandable that they get so hysterical over any slight to their teams when for many it is the only source of joy in their lives.

One of the best cities in the nation for beer/breweries, huge winery scene about 30 min east of the city (18 wineries at last count), tons of new restaurants have been going in, enormous Metroparks system. Plenty to do there, last I saw.

lol Dan Gilbert was never part of the conversation, bro. You and your boy turnup can't avoid a chance to rip on Cavs fans even when it isn't even part of the conversation. I never yelled obscenities at Lebron or any other professional athlete, and Dan Gilbert never told fans to do it either. I'm sorry you're so pissed I'm not just agreeing with everything you say. Maybe you should calm down a bit, considering you don't have a horse in this race?

Maybe you should learn the art of conversation. Or at least how to follow one.

Checkout this montage of Warriors screens from Game 3... they put on a clinic of how to execute the perfect - not illegal in any way - screen against the Cavs.

And every so often, they even light the river on fire and the whole city has a big ol' cookout.

Good to hear. I love the hard-working, every man mentality of Cleveland and feel bad that the hey day for that type of man (or woman) is gone with the decline of industry in the U.S.
Warrior fans know what it is like to lose, we have a lot of scar tissue built up so its tough to hurt us but if we can't win, I'd like to see the people of Cleveland get a title. My only problems with that scenario are that it would come at the expense of the Warriors and that Lebron James would win a title. I'm a hater; I can't think of any person in sports, except for Richard Sherman, that I dislike more.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Yeah, turnup did. Apparently, it was kept online until just before he announced he was returning to Cleveland.

Google it.
July 7 it came down after being up for 4 years.
Anyone saying that James was still deciding anything, at any point after they met on the plane, is simply just completely naive or gullible.
My GUESS is that it was pretty much decided well before then, but that was just the face to face to go down the list one by one.

He intentionally stalled so he could fuck with Riley as well as make him waste him time flying across the country.
He knew his SI letter was bullshit he paid someone to write and needed to get on the plane to Brasil ASAP to avoid having to answer any questions about it.

What does a "ranibow" mean? I understand the "Like", the "dislike" and the "face palm", but not the rainbow.

I am an admitted foodie. For its size and general reputation, Cleveland has quite a few spectacular chef's/restaurants.

I live between Akron and Cleveland. The commute to my office is through a National Park. The weather sucks quite often, but I can think of plenty of worse places to live.

I loved that one near the end of the game where Curry came all the way across the court from his right to left and picked up three screens along the way and hit the three over Mosgov. That was beautiful! I just love that type of team basketball.

Not this stupid BS again.

The Cavs pulling down the letter means LeBron had made his decision by then?? Get serious.

Windhorst was the one that noticed the letter was online and when he reported it the Cavs were like,"oh crap, thats still hosted up there... it looks like LeBron might actually give us the time of day... someone pull that right away."


Gilbert and the Cavs weren't informed of his decision until after the SI letter was posted. LeBron may have made up his mind--- to varying degrees --- at some point before then... but until he tells the Cavs "I'm coming" and the Heat "I'm not coming".... no decision is official and things can change.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I don't recall trying to argue that some Cavs fans did that. Where did I say that?

You argued that Gilbert didn't support/promote it, which simply isn't true.
Of course he can't publicly say that fans should yell obscenities, but he knew it would happen.

How many got ejected or warned?
At least the Warrior security guy told her to stop.

 

[Montalban]

Ha! I still don't get it.

All I know is just about everythime Moz and TT are battling/trying to get a rebound, Green and especially Bogut just grab them. It's like they cant box them out, they have done it A LOT this series and usually get called for it.

Same here. The restaurant scene in both places, especially considering the population, is fantastic.
